Brooklyn Whelan: Painter / Scribbler / Designer: Sydney

One thing you may or may not know about Brooklyn is that he was the Art Director for Tracks surf magazine for the past 6 years. Brooklyn has also earned a reputation for his photography, paint and illustration skills. His most recent solo show ‘Fantastic Damage’ (which sold out) at China Heights in Sydney was a huge success and he is already planning his next exhibition for later this year. Hanging out with Brooklyn you instantly feel his humble nature and positive attitude to everything he does. Designer, typographer, illustrator, painter, photographer and professional teenager, Brooklyn has a rare combination of street-cred and professionalism which has made him one of the most respected designers/artists today. AR captured a glimpse of his creative space…

When I was a child I wanted to be… Lots of far fetched things.

The studies I took to get where I am now were… Graffiti, Skateboarding, growing up in a big city + keeping an open mind.
